2014 Mazak Variaxis i-600 CNC Vertical Machining Center w/ Pallet Changer

The 2014 Mazak i-600 CNC Vertical Machining Center is a high-performance 5-axis production platform combining speed, precision, and flexibility. With its 18000 RPM Cat 40 spindle and expansive 120-tool automatic changer, this i-series machine delivers continuous machining through dual pallets designed for maximum uptime. The table supports workpieces up to 27.56 inches in diameter and 17.72 inches tall, while its travels of 20.08 inches in X, 35.83 inches in Y, and 20.08 inches in Z enable dynamic part access across complex geometries. Equipped with a Renishaw Inspection Plus probing system, Super Flow 1000 PSI and 215 PSI coolant systems, and a chip conveyor, this machine is engineered for automated, high-volume, precision manufacturing.

In comparison to Mazak’s smaller i-500 or standard vertical models, the i-600 stands apart through its larger rotary table, greater tool capacity, and dual-pump coolant architecture, enabling both high-speed finishing and heavy roughing in one setup. Its advanced software suite—including 5-axis tool compensation, dynamic smoothing, and full simultaneous interpolation—transforms part production into a single continuous process that outperforms conventional 3-axis systems in both cycle efficiency and surface accuracy.
